Sarah Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Took my boys out today for a walk in the local nature reserve - 2 hours - LOVELY....just me and my boys Bumped into a member from here - Ian aka malamute and WOW has Blizzard GROWN!!! Anyway, was wandering along, minding my own business and saw 2 people on bikes coming towards me, so i pulled my boys back in and made them wait - they just rode past and didn't even say thanks charming - some people have no mannors! Then about half an hour later........3 people on bikes rode past - i didn't hear them coming as was near a waterfall at the time - the first guy rode past and nearly ran over Kimba and i didn't get a chance to pull them back before the second one rode past then by the time the third one rode past i was ready for shouting at them..... the third one had to stop so i could bring my boys in - STILL no thank you Is it just people on bikes? How rude - GET SOME MANNORS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 This happens when i move over on the path near a road to let folks pass so they don't have to walk on the road, no thanx or anything so now i don't pull over & let them walk on the road. rude idiots.

Lyn Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 You guys must just be unlucky or maybe our locals are just more polite?. Most of the folk we meet out on our training trails are great, and the MTB lads we see are great. Must admit a team of dogs on a rig hurtling towards them does probably make them think a little more about giving way a bit . We always thank the ones who do, and usually thanked by the ones we give way to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 omg sum sed cheers on our walk when i moved boys outta the way *shock* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 This riles me, too - does it hurt to say "thanks"? No!! Now, if it's someone I hold a door open for, or move over when out walking for, whatever & I don't get a "thanks", I say, loud enough for them to hear as I walk away "Thanks ... Don't mention it .....Oh, you didn't!" 8 times outta 10 I get an embarrassed "Oh, yeah, thanks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Most of the folk we meet out on our training trails are great............................... Must admit a team of dogs on a rig hurtling towards them does probably make them think a little more about giving way a bit . We always thank the ones who do, and usually thanked by the ones we give way to. Same as Lyn - the cyclists who use our training trails are usually really good - mind you, like us the mountain bikers have to have a permit to use the forest, so it is in their interests to be polite and sensitive to other users. The worst people are the Joe Public dog walkers who pay nothing for the use of the forest trails, but think they own them and let their offlead, out of control dogs run into the middle of a fast travelling team. We try to avoid this by training at first light, but unfortunately some of these muppets suffer from insomnia and are up as early as we are.

valkyries Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 They say people here are nice well educated lol it's posh coz it's Oxford well i'd rather be back home with normal every day people back in the north, if posh means up their own ass and think they dont need manners xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
